The weight loss industry is one of the largest in the world. There are so many diet programs that promise you that you are going to lose weight but, in the end it is all based on your burning desire to be at the weight you envisioned. I'm not going to tell you that all programs are bad but, what I will tell you is, you lose weight by taking in less calories than you burn or burn more calories than you take in.
If you have more than 40 pounds to lose, I recommend that you get your eating habits in line by evaluating what you are actually eating. Then correct what has been the problem the whole time. It is what you are eating. It is my opinion that you must get your diet correct before starting an aggressive workout regimen. Why? Because if you become injured and can't workout you will not gain the weight back to the point you were.
Now for the strategy,
Everyone these days have a smart phone that take pictures, if you don't, then you will have to write in a journal. For the next two weeks take a picture of everything that you eat, chew, or drink, from the time you arise to the time you go to sleep. At the end of each week research the content, calories and nutritional value of what you have put into your body. Calculate how many intake calories, and sugar you have taken in for the week. Once you have truly evaluated your current diet, look for ways to improve. It may mean substituting or it could mean eliminating some foods altogether.
I hear so often, "I just love to eat", or "I just can't give up corn bread", or "It's to hard", Well, I hear what you are saying but, I have been there, and I am here to tell you that if you believe these sayings mentally then its going to be always hard.
